ANeW Of LNslnR 1900,

As 10 usual during Fair time nnr town
was full Of swindlers and gamblers,
sharpers and skinners last week. The
number was larger than usual this year,
but they met with poor success, although
in one instance they Just missed making
good haul. Before dinner Friday
morning young man approached Mr..
John Pesle, an old resident Of our city,
and man with . reputation Of being
exceedingly close In money matters, and
represented to him that he had drawn .
prise OF 5000 In 4 book advertising
scheme, but that he could not draw the
prize without first showing to the men
that he was the possessor OF 81 800 IN
cash: "Now," said MFR. Sharper, ''if
you will get 81 500 and come to the resi-
idence of Mr.. William H. Jones on West
street we will draw that 5000 and
divide it between u.s." Mr.. Peale
thought this was an excellent plan to
make snug little sum, and immediately
went to the Citizens Bank and drew out
the 1900, but some remark that he
made at the time he drew the money
put the men there "onto the racket"
and they informed him of their sus-
picions. The officers were then inform.
ed and five persons were arrested on
suspicion. These five had their trial on
Monday morning before Mayor Harman,
but as none OF the witnesses were posi-.
tive that they we're the right persons,
they were discharged with the admoni.
ton that they make themselves scarce.
